Suggest Treatment For Loss Of Appetite In Kids

Hi, my daughter 2 years 2 months weighs 12 kgshas always been a fussy eater but from last 2 weeks she has stopped eating.Yesterday she had only one egg in whole day. I asked from Doc, he said it is perfectly fine as far as she is active. he prescribed some hunger medicines also, but even then her appetite is not increasing. I am having night mares thinking of her diet. I am giving her soaked raisins but that also come out from her body in full. Please help.

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Please stop worrying and having nightmares about something that does not actually even qualify to be called a medical problem! Children eat when they want and as much as their bodies need. You cannot judge a child's appetite by what she is eating, but by how much she is growing (your daughter is THRIVING) and how active she is (which she appears to be!)

Trust your child's doctor. What he has said is correct. Stop any hunger medicines if you ARE using these treatments.

Best wishes,

Dr. Taher
